"Mercenary?" The knight's gaze swept across the group, lingering a moment on Miel's sniper rifle, his tone was somewhat disdainful.
"Are there mutants up ahead?" Aske leaned against the barricade, smiling as he asked.
"That's none of your business, civilian," the Night Watch knight said indifferently.
"No, every adventure is our business," Aske said with a chuckle, "We're mercenaries."
"I know you are profit-seeking mercenaries, but this undead mutant incident is none of your concern," the knight said coldly. "The barricade is up because there's been an Netherworld invasion in Palamos Village up ahead."
"Netherworld invasion?" Nora asked curiously.
The knight frowned at her, a mocking sneer forming:
"Ah, so you're not just pure mercenaries, but also scholars with raging curiosity?"
"Listen well, the Netherworld is a parallel sub-plane to the Main Plane—of course, theoretically parallel, but some overlap can occur under certain conditions."
